Recently we had the opportunity to bring our staff to East London for a basic introduction to Computer Literacy training.

Computer Training

Kingsley from Go2Websites, designed a basic introduction course.  How to use a keypad, how to send emails, create documents and save these documents.  Most of our staff had no experience whatsoever in using computers.  It was an excellent introduction.

Implimentation:

With us removed from Mpame for a short while, these new skills are enormously helpful for easier communications. We have also set up Watsapp groups and even have very successful conference calls.  Staff development is very important to us in working towards sustainability of Educare Mpame.

The Impact of Computer Literacy Training on Educare Mpame Staff

At Educare Mpame, investing in our staff means investing in the future of our children. Our recent computer literacy training initiative has already begun to bring about meaningful change. Here’s how:

1. Improved Administrative Efficiency
• Staff can now manage attendance records, reports, and communication digitally.
• Time saved on paperwork means more time dedicated to the children.

2. Enhanced Communication
• Email and digital platforms allow for faster, clearer internal and external communication.
• Staff can now connect more easily with parents and stakeholders.

3. Access to Educational Resources
• Teachers can now access online tools, learning materials, and creative lesson ideas.
• This enriches classroom experiences and keeps teaching methods up to date.

4. Professional Growth
• Staff gain valuable, transferable skills that boost their confidence and career development.
• Empowered employees are more engaged and motivated in their roles.

5. Better Record-Keeping and Reporting
• Digital tools improve accuracy in data collection and reporting to authorities or funders.
• This ensures compliance and transparency in our operations.

6. Foundation for Future Growth
• With basic computer skills in place, staff are better prepared for future digital initiatives.
• It opens the door to training in more advanced tools and systems down the line.

By equipping our team with digital skills, Educare Mpame is building a stronger, smarter, and more connected community — ready to meet the needs of the future.

Together, we’re growing through learning

Preschool was a new term for the parents of the community of Mpame. In the beginning, their first thoughts may have been relief to have some of their children taken care of for a while. And for some it still might be the case, however, something has changed:

By inviting the parents to see the kids in their preschool environment, to join in on their activities like sports events, to listen to their stories, all this had made an impact.

And last but not least our teachers Ntosh and Zamoh who act as mediators for the community and by this further trust is built.

We couldn’t do it without you!

Without our two teachers Ntosh and Zamoh it simply couldn’t be done.

They are teachers and motivators, but also life coaches, teaching social skills, independence and good manners.

They are persons of trust – and 53 little learners putting their trust in them every day.

]]> Gift’s Story https://edu-carempame.com/gifts-story/ Mon, 16 Dec 2024 07:42:25 +0000 http://edu-carempame.com/?p=9800

Gift was about one and a half years old, when his mother brought him to the creche. He was scared and didn’t know what was going on. At that time, we didn’t realize that actually two gifts were coming through our door.

A little boy who would develop just beautifully, notoriously curious and eager to learn. In his third year at ‘Sunshine’ creche, he would read stories to his friends at Story Telling Time. He has now entered grade 1 at the junior government school but still spends lots of time with us.

The second gift is his mother Ntombozuko.

She is our teacher at ‘Sunshine’ creche, and it’s a joy to watch her. Having been born and brought up in the community we benefit from her communicating with the parents and involving them in the activities.
